After five years in the military, Leo had coolly assumed the mantle of the former Commander of the Wyverns. Not only did he learn how to kill, but he also became proficient in various martial arts, even inventing several schools of martial arts on his own.
The Lightning Boxing Technique was one of them.
He had never thought that he would meet someone who knew this technique in the tiny city of Emerdale.
"Martial Maestro is really spreading my martial arts skills far and wide, huh?"
He was mumbling under his breath, but there was a smile on his face nonetheless.
After all, who wouldn’t want to leave a legacy behind?
If Ip Man could popularize Wing Chun, there was no reason why he couldn't spread his Lightning Boxing Technique all over the world.
But, little did Leo know that Martial Maestro, one of the Seven Maestros of Winbury, had begun training students after learning the Lightning Boxing Technique from him. Of course, he did not use Leo's name, because he knew that Leo preferred to keep a low profile. He used the moniker God of War to spread his teachings instead.
The smile on Leo's face became bigger and bigger as he looked at Wallace. "Come on, show me what you've learned."
It was rare to meet an indirect student of his. Even if Wallace was his opponent, he was still intrigued and possibly willing to teach him a thing or two.
"You dare—"
Wallace looked murderous after hearing Leo's words, and he threw another punch at him, faster this time.
He was annoyed by the way Leo was talking. The latter made him sound like a useless student being guided by his teacher.
"Don’t act all tough when you're about to die!"
Mr. O'Brien looked at Leo with a confident expression. He had seen Wallace use the Lightning Boxing Technique firsthand.
At that time, Wallace used a single punch to render his opponent unconscious, leaving him in the hospital for two whole months.
Several teachers were afraid that Wallace would beat Leo to death. One of them asked in a hushed whisper, "Should we call 911?"
"Call an ambulance," the principal said, frowning.
She knew about the O'Brien family's influence in Emerdale. There was no point calling the cops.
Besides, it was Leo who was audacious enough to provoke Wallace. He was just digging his own grave.
Wallace's fist arrived in front of Leo's face in an instant, messing up the latter's fringe with how fast it was going.
However, the destructive punch did not land. Everyone could only watch in bewilderment at the scene unfolding before them.
Wallace's fist stopped less than two inches away from Leo's face, but Leo was still looking at him calmly. He did not even blink.
"You want to fight me, but you're still letting your kid cling onto you. What if we hurt her by accident?" Wallace said coldly, withdrawing his fist.
Leo looked down when he heard this.
He saw that his little girl was still hugging one of his legs and looking up at Wallace. She did not look intimidated either. It was as if she would never be afraid, as long as her father was around.
Leo touched her head and smiled. He also developed a better impression of Wallace.
"It's okay, you can do whatever you want. Don't hold back for my sake."
His words were filled with confidence.
This time, Wallace did not show the same expression as before. He gave Leo a deep, meaningful look instead.
Few people could remain calm, to the point of not even batting an eyelid, in the face of his incoming fists.
Either Leo was faking it, or he was a genuine martial arts expert...
Mr. O'Brien gnashed his teeth as he watched from the side. He was annoyed that Wallace's fist did not make contact with Leo just now. That punch should have crippled him!
But it did not matter. The results would be the same with a second punch.
He never entertained the notion that Wallace might lose.
Wallace adjusted his state and threw another punch at Leo.
This time, he did not hold back and punched even harder and faster.
Everyone's eyes widened. They could feel the power contained in his fist from where they were standing several feet away.
